There was a time I configured my email client to use plain text, but I no longer remember why I did that. Today I find it strangely annoying to receive an email thread reply in plain text which strips all the formatting from the entire thread. Bottom posting died with usenet and I don't miss it. It was mostly a form of gatekeeping as far as I remember.
